Often, the biggest issue that fantasy football owners run into is attempting to draft a position that has no depth left. Because there is a fine line between players that are mediocre and players that are great, fantasy football owners must understand the top players at every position and try to fill each roster spot with an elite player. This is most true for the quarterback position. The quarterback position is one of the most important to a team; however, the difference between the top few quarterbacks and the rest can make or break your team. Let’s take a look at the top 11 quarterbacks for the 2014 fantasy football season:

Did you pick me? Good job.

1. Peyton Manning – Denver BroncosLast season, Peyton was hands down the biggest fantasy football factor in all of the NFL and next season should be more of the same. Though many are expecting the loss of WRs to hurt the team’s offense, the Broncos have signed Emmanuel Sanders from the Pittsburgh Steelers, who should fill the role of Decker, and then some.

2. Tom Brady – New England PatriotsLast season, Tom Brady had very week fantasy numbers because his young offense was coming into its own. Next season, with WR Julian Edelman solidly in the slot receiver role, the team should be able to fit everyone else in. Expect Thompkins, Dobson and Amendola to have great seasons alongside Brady.

3. Aaron Rodgers – Green Bay PackersAaron Rodgers is the NFL’s all-time leader for in quarterback rating. Next season, his main receivers will all be back and Rodgers will have fully recovered from his collarbone injury. Expect him to be elite.

4. Drew Brees – New Orleans SaintsBrees is always a solid fantasy option. Next season, the veteran QB will be working with a new rookie receiver, Brandon Cooks, who is expected to be his main target. This will be Brees’ first chance to really spread the field in years.

5. Russell Wilson – Seattle SeahawksRussell Wilson is the best versatile quarterback in the league. He has the ability to burn defenders with his throwing arm and his legs, allowing his fantasy numbers to be through the roof.

6. Andrew Luck – Indianapolis ColtsLast season, Luck put up fantastic numbers, however, he did this with limited talent. Next season, the return of WR Reggie Wayne will spark the Colts, and should give Luck some great fantasy value.

7. Tony Romo – Dallas CowboysDespite his choking, Romo has always been a great fantasy option. With WR Dez Bryant, you can expect him to be a consistent fantasy factor.

Does Matthew Stafford have the most attractive pass-catching corps in the NFL or what?

9. Philip Rivers – San Diego ChargersLast season, Rivers and Keenan Allen lit it up. In his sophomore year, Allen will only be better, allowing Rivers to have even better numbers.

10. Colin Kaepernick – San Francisco 49ersColin Kaepernick has a team that is ready for success next season. With the additions of WRs Brandon Lloyd and Stevie Johnson, the young QB will have countless downfield options next year.

11. Cam Newton – Carolina PanthersLast season, Newton did great things with not much talent. Next season, WRs Jerricho Cotchery and Jason Avant will start on the team as well as rookie Kelvin Benjamin. This will give Newton the best receivers that he has ever had in his career.

It’s exactly what you think it is — a sports blog written primarily as an homage to the perfect combination of all skills basketball expressed as a two-man team of Latrell Sprewell and Tom Gugliotta in the 1994 classic NBA JAM: Tournament Edition. More accurately, it’s about sports and how thinly the analogies between sports and other topics such TV shows, movies and video games can be stretched to provoke the imagination and sometimes allude to the 1990s.
